OPTION 1 – IN-SITU Upgrades for existing Glass or Polycarbonate Roofs

Our transparent heat reflectors, which are similar to those used in high performance glazing, are simply installed in Glass or Polycarbonate roofed conservatories without disturbing the roof to provide a simply, and relatively low cost solution. That excludes 80% of Solar heat, cuts glare, and retains up to 25% of heat that would otherwise be lost in winter.

IN-SITU UPGRADE FOR EXISTING, AND NEW POLYCARBONATE ROOFS

Solar heat reflectors for Polycarbonate roofs Unique and Patented in 1992 our lightly tinted heat reflectors are simply inserted into the upper hollow flutes of the Polycarbonate panels to exclude 80% of the sun’s heat, glare, and 99% of the UV rays for summer comfort.

In winter they cut heat loss by up to 25%. In this way we are able to upgrade plain polycarbonate to the same specification as a Solar Glazing.

For Glass roofs:

The heat reflectors are laminated in-situ to the glass; they are inconspicuous except for a light tint in daylight and provide a clear view out . Internal or external installation is possible depending on the application.

Our product, which is totally unique to this company and which can be installed externally was developed in the early 1990’s. It is based on Poly Vinyl Fluoride, the most durable polymer known.

We laminate this in-situ to the outside face of the double glazing unit to stop the solar heat before it can enter the glazing system to replicate the performance of the best Solar glazing.

Where the principal concern is winter insulation, we laminate directly to the inside surface of the glazing using a grade that has the ability to reflect room temperature heat back into the room to reduce winter heat loss by up to 25%.

Solar heat reflectors are incorporated into High Insulation Thermo 60 replacement roof panels to cut summer solar heat gain by 85%, and reduce winter heat loss by up to 60%. To give all year comfort, and economic heating so that you can add the conservatory to your living area. U value 1.0 watts/M2 °C The highest performance conservatory roof available.

Solar Control ‘Thermo’ 80 – Energy rated GRADE A+++

Totally transparent, simply installed internally to the underside of existing roof glazing. This product incorporates solar heat reflectors; it has a unique transparent insulation structure, and thermal breaks to cut heat loss through the aluminium structure of the conservatory.

It cuts summer solar heat gain by 80%, and winter heat loss by up to 80% for all year comfort, and economic heating, so that you can add your conservatory to your living area. – U value 0.6 watts/M2 °C depending on primary roof.
